An old tale from the "Arabian Nights" made it's way to the opera when Puccini read Friedrich Schiller's play, based on an earlier text by Carlo Gozzi. The composer chose the Persian story (set in China) for his last masterpiece, which he left unfinished.

"Any man who desires to wed Turandot must first answer her three riddles. If he fails, he will be beheaded", announced a Mandarin at the opening of the opera. But a young and unknown prince has unhesitatingly solved them all.
As she cries out in anger, the Prince stops her, saying that he has a proposal for her. "You do not know my name. Bring me my name before sunrise, and at sunrise, I will die".

In this aria, the Prince waits for dawn and anticipates his victory: "Vincerò, vincerò!", he proclaims.

I've illustrated my performance with beautiful Chinese artwork, and I've added English subtitles.

  • Wow!! Bravo!

  • Es un placer escuchar esta aria interpretada por mi maestro, es una lástima no haber podido seguir con mis estudios, de todas maneras disfruto mucho de su exelente voz. Bravo!!

  • Que orgullo para mi que haya un tenor ecuatoriano triunfando en el extranjero, había escuchado de usted por el Reality de la Kiruba pero nunca pude escucharlo cantar y me gustó mucho su capacidad para conservar los agudos a pesar de lo dramático de su voz. Yo soy lírico y mi maestra me enseña a no darle mucha fuerza al registro bajo y medio para conservar intactos mis agudos, pienso que todo es de acuerdo al tipo de voz. Espero ver pronto más videos suyos y ojalá escucharlo en mi ciudad!

  • VINCE. BORJA, SEMPRE AVANTI.
